Billionaire entrepreneur and cryptocurrency advocate Mark Cuban said on the X platform: "If Meme is the future, maybe I will issue one. However, I will add something new. The terms of issuance are the same as TRUMP: 20% of the circulation, the same release plan. But there is one difference. All revenue from token sales will go directly to the US Treasury. The wallet address will be made public so that everyone can track where the money is going. If you want to take a gamble, take a gamble. But a...

Peter Schiff, an economist and gold advocate, wrote on the X platform that one good thing Biden could do before he leaves office is to sell all the bitcoin currently held by the US government, raising funds that would not only reduce the budget deficit in 2024, but also end all the nonsense about "strategic bitcoin reserves," adding that "Biden could sell everything before Trump takes office so Trump doesn't have to renege on his campaign promises."

Peter Schiff, a gold advocate and economist, says Bitcoin's recent performance shows why it is not fit to be a reserve asset. Bitcoin falls the most when everything is falling. How can you use a reserve asset that has fallen more than the asset you are hedging? In addition, Peter Schiff also said that the right thing for the Federal Reserve to do now is to raise interest rates further and let things take their course. Of course...
